Darlo Uncovered

I know Curzon always seem to get the better of us, but it is worth pointing out that their current positon in the league (9th) is mainly atrtibutable to their away form (W8 D6 L4). Their last two away matches were a 0-0 at FC Service Station and a 1-0 win at Scunny. At home they are far less consis...

The constant "we wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for Gowling being inserted into almost every discussion is tedious and isn't doing anyone any favours.

Deleted as appropriate.

Players are going out on loan but the ones we have tried to get have chosen other clubs in better positions. Even players who want to get themselves in the shop window are choosing other options. If only we hadn’t penny pinched last season! Yeh funny that--guess it's what happens when the manager a...

In the absence of Ginge and his stat machine, I've had a look at the fixtures for the bottom seven (realistically, the others are clear of being dragged into the relegation places). Even (rose-tintedly) allowing for us having the best record (W4 D5 L2), we still go down on goal difference. Might ne...

Win our home matches - barring Scunthorpe and Chorley, and there are several places away where we're capable of going and winning. 6 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats sees us home and dry. Not that we should even be in this position anyway, that's thanks to Clowning wasting easy home match after easy home...

I was absolutely over the moon for Nelson yesterday to get the goal and assist. His injury problems do look way behind him and he has looked in recent months an energetic and hard working player - just without the goals. Hopefully that will give him a massive shot of confidence because he came on an...

It is genuinely sad to see Nelson such a shadow of his former self. In his first spell he was electric, but genuine misfortune with injuries has ruined him. Living off a very good loan spell from around five years ago. Done very well to even be playing again after his injuries, but he’s not up to i...

2-0 game over, final hopes fading for those who still had any….

Plenty of winnable matches left, we need to make sure we don't go 1-0 down in any of them.

Tonight is just tragic, sounds like we played well and got nowt again.

Marriott has hardly played this season due to injury … sound familiar ?? I bet he'll be fit enough tonight though. Unlike our missing superstar. Our superstar will pop up with the goal that saves us from relegation .. I have seen it Funny I had the same vision myself, except it was a brace v old cl...

Just watched the extended highlights and to be honest that second red was not even a yellow IMO.

I'd have been boiling if that had happened to us.

How many times under Gowling did we bemoan playing well, but not really hurting the opposition? It is kind of happening under Watson now. Never. We never played well under Gowling. Every game was tedious negative plodding dogshit and I hate him for it. Under Watson, although results haven't really ...

Nope, which is absolutely the correct position to take.

He was beyond useless.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren’t Hereford and Boston under ownership, both similar to us ex EFL teams who have been stagnating in the NLN like us for years. Not so sure if either have a "super fan" or two turbo charging their fan ownership model, but Scarborough are also fan owned with similar t...

Let’s try and be a bit creative with the squad……..no…..let’s pick the same midfield that hasn’t worked all season and creates almost nil opportunities. Platt, Hatfield, Liddle as our midfield again is a shocker!! Honestly am beginning to doubt SW just a little bit. As above and still seems unable t...

So in the same week that Spenny sign Brad James, Matty Dolan, Lufudu and another attacking midfielder we sign an emergency 17 yr old keeper on loan for a month. ( nothing against the lad at all, sure he is an excellent prospect) Says it all really doesn’t it. Yes, I know they have money and we don’...

To be fair, there was nothing the club could have done on the Rowe announcement, if Hednesford have announced it before the paperwork was approved. However, there is a wider-issue that needs addressing regarding the communication. Asante is a perfect example. He has been brought in to be our main c...

He says he will be playing again this season despite suffering setbacks in his recovery from a bad injury. Is said to be one of the higher earners at Kiddy. Some player if fit and still not yet 30 but no doubt the injuries have taken a toll. I could imagine he's looking for part-time now. As well a...

He's an Alfreton player who was dual registered with Ossett.

I don't actually think the average crowd is much different this season to last.

Although the outgoings will be a fair bit more!

The bit that really grates on me is how DJ and the board reacted to Mark Beck leaving. We were told targets were unaffordable, expectations were dampened, and ultimately AA’s budget was reduced. At the time we nodded along but given the disastrous appointment of JG who was given a significantly inc...

DJ has led us to a path of success, over the last few years while keeping the finances in check, so not going into administration again, and 6 leagues down. There have been innovations like the way you can pay by tapping on a terminal to pay which were led by the board members, (very rare at other ...

1 They roll around, waste time, break up play, tug shirts, they utilise every trick in the book - not just a few times, but as a fully blown ideology right through a match. Watching them play football is a dull, boring and frustrating afternoon and if I lived in Alfreton I'd rather stay in bang my ...

This was always the argument against sacking Gowling, just throwing good money after bad in a losing cause

Let's be clear, there was no argument against sacking Clowning.

The only argument was that we didn't boot giggles soon enough.

Who are you going for exactly? Salkeld, Curry, Rivers, Nelson? Sadly, all of the above have been given shedloads of opportunities and have proven to not be good enough. Curry has been injured for much of the season so it's unfair to say he's had shedloads of opportunities. Although yesterday he did...

Broken record I know! , but how come we still have not signed a couple of creative players. They have been here long enough now surely to have made this happen. You telling me that the 3 N East big clubs don’t have any decent players who would benefit from a loan. If it was as easy as that they wou...
